C# Exercise: 118 Function Greatest value in a array

In this exercise of C#, you will learn how to create a function that returns the greatest value stored in an array of real numbers, which is specified as a parameter. This type of exercise is perfect for practicing how to work with arrays and how to compare elements within them in C#. The function will receive an array of float numbers and iterate through the array to find the maximum value. For example, when running the program with the data array containing the values {1.5f, 0.7f, 8.0f}, the function will return 8.0f as the maximum value. This exercise is excellent for enhancing your C# skills when working with arrays, functions, and comparisons.

With this exercise, you will learn how to handle arrays and create functions in C# that operate on them to perform tasks such as finding the maximum value in a set of data.

Function Greatest value in a array

 Objetive

Write a C# function which returns the greatest value stored in an array of real numbers which is specified as parameter:

float[] data={1.5f, 0.7f, 8.0f}
float max = Maximum(data);

 Example Code

// Importing necessary namespaces
using System;

class Program
{
    // Main method to drive the program
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Example array of floating-point numbers
        float[] data = { 1.5f, 0.7f, 8.0f };

        // Calling the Maximum function to find the greatest value in the array
        float max = Maximum(data);

        // Display the result
        Console.WriteLine("The greatest value in the array is: " + max);
    }

    // Function to return the greatest value in an array of real numbers
    public static float Maximum(float[] arr)
    {
        // Initialize max to the smallest possible value
        float maxValue = arr[0];

        // Loop through the array to find the maximum value
        for (int i = 1; i < arr.Length; i++)
        {
            // Update max if a larger value is found
            if (arr[i] > maxValue)
            {
                maxValue = arr[i];
            }
        }

        // Return the largest value found in the array
        return maxValue;
    }
}
